Set up footers with left, centre and right aligned elements?
How do I set up footers with left, centre and right aligned elements so that
if I introduce a landscape section in a portrait document it still works? |

One way to do this is with a table (three columns) set to 100% width. But
you will find that this is very processor-intensive and may make your headers "shimmy" constantly as Word continually recalculates the width. -- Suzanne S.

Set up footers with left, centre and right aligned elements?
Thanks Suzanne. I put the table in and it worked OK on the portrait pages
but didn't expand to fill the landscape ones. How do I set to "100% width" ? I can only see "fit to contents" and "fit to window" - but may not be looking in the right place! "Suzanne S.

I have found that it only shimmies if one has not unlinked the header/footer
from the previous one. AFAIR, the W2007 header/footer is set up to handle this automatically with relative to margin tab alignment. PamC Suzanne S.

Yes, there is a new "alignment tab" in Word 2007 (described in my article on
tabs at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm). -- Suzanne S.

On the Table tab of Table Properties, there is a width setting for the
entire table. This can be set in absolute inches (or other measurement) or in relative percent. -- Suzanne S.

Set up footers with left, centre and right aligned elements?
Just thought I'd say that I tried all this and it worked. We often have to
insert landscape pages into portrait documents and it is a complete pain to get the footers to carry over. Setting them up as a table of 3 columns with each cell aligned L C and R as required worked. BUT you have to first add the pages after section breaks which you coinvert to landscape with the footer set to "continue from previous" (to get the footer to carry over) THEN disconnect the footer from previous to get it to spread itself properly accross the bottom of the page. Nevertheless an awful lot better than messing about with tabs and spaces to make it work. Thank you again Suzanne "Suzanne S.

Glad you got it working, and thanks for the further feedback on the required

Set up footers with left, centre and right aligned elements?
Hi! I read the mvps article but I can't find anything about "alignment tabs"
that sort themselves out when going from portrait to lanscape. My work around (I have a doc that goes back and forth between portrait and lanscape several times) was to - set up the first section's tabs for portrait (as portrait tabs are all visible on landscape pages but not vice versa) - make subsequent sections all linked to previous - then for each new section that is not the same page orientation as previous, unlink - then set the lanscape centre tab and go to each landscape section and hit F4; then do same for the right tab "Suzanne S.
